ANNUAL REPORT FY20 I wish to be an astronaut I wish to be an astronaut Aegis,6 nervous system disorder OUR MISSION Together, WE CREATE LIFE- CHANGING WISHES FOR CHILDREN WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES. Since 1983, Make-A-Wish San Diego has granted over 4,600 life-changing wishes for children in San Diego and Imperial Counties. At Make-A-Wish, the goal is simple: to come into a child’s life during a difficult time and provide hope and a much-needed break from the daily challenges they are forced to face. A wish can provide experiences that money just can’t buy. A wish has the power to change a child’s mental state, provide desperately-needed respite for a family, and allow the child and his/her family to experience a sense of normalcy. We serve children from all areas of both San Diego and Imperial Counties and our demographics span every socio-economic and ethnic group. No eligible child is ever turned away, and a family’s financial status, race, or religion has no bearing on whether or not a child will receive a wish. I wish to have a gaming computer Tiba, 14 350+ nervous system disorder Wish Kids Currently Waiting For a Wish Did you know the average cost of a wish is $10,000? Consider making a donation in honor of a wish today! Dear Make-A-Wish San Diego Family, The year 2020 was many things, and “unprecedented” seems to be the most common description. Few of us were left unscathed by this worldwide health crisis called COVID-19, and our wish families were certainly no exception.

  • Frank, Barney (B
    Frank, Barney (b. 1940) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Barney Frank. United States congressman Barney Frank is known for his intelligence, his quick and acerbic wit, and his spirited defense of his social and political beliefs. He has been a leader not only in the cause of gay and lesbian rights, but also on issues including fair housing, consumer rights, banking, and immigration. Frank was born on March 31, 1940 in Bayonne, New Jersey, where his father owned a truck stop. As a youngster Frank developed an interest in politics. He did not, however, foresee a career in government for himself because he observed in politics a dismaying amount of corruption and an inhospitable attitude toward Jews. He had, moreover, realized at the age of thirteen that he was gay, which also seemed an obstacle to a political career. Nevertheless, Frank remained an avid student of politics. After receiving a bachelor's degree from Harvard in 1962, he entered the university's graduate program in political science. In addition to offering courses in government from 1963 to 1967, he worked as the assistant to the director of the Institute for Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1966 and 1967. Frank left the graduate program in 1967 to work on Kevin White's campaign to become mayor of Boston. Following White's victory, Frank was his executive assistant for three years and then spent a year as an administrative assistant to Representative Michael J.

    January 2019 Volume 40 Number 5 Editor: [email protected] President’s Message I hope that you enjoyed the holiday season with your loved ones and family and are now ready to start the new year! Making New Year’s resolutions are now being made in hopes that at least some of them will be met. While making your New Year’s resolutions, I hope that you will consider the goals of our AAUW branch and help make them a reality. The first goal is to increase membership. Thus, the question is, how many of you have encouraged a friend or new acquaintance to join our branch or will do so in 2019? The second goal is to increase fund raising to meet the needs of the operating expenses and those of the Branch projects. Thus, the question is how many of you have been active in supporting the fund raising events? There is always a job for each of you! My last question for your consideration is: How many of you regularly attend the general meetings and meetings of the special interest sections? I find that active participation in the above activities brings pleasure and a feeling of camaraderie among our members. I trust that you will do so also! I sincerely wish all of you a very happy, fulfilling and healthy 2019!

  • American Airways Ford Trimotor Transports FDR to Chicago Democratic Convention by Baird Wonsey and Marguerite Wonsey
    Virginia Aviation History Project * * * * * American Airways Ford Trimotor Transports FDR to Chicago Democratic Convention by Baird Wonsey and Marguerite Wonsey On July 2, 1932, an American Airways Ford Trimotor carrying the just-nominated Democratic candidate for president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt flew from Albany NY to Chicago IL to deliver his acceptance speech to convention delegates. It was the best publicity any airline had received to date. (Eagle, The Story of American Airlines, Robert J. Serling © 1985) Roosevelt made the flight in a Ford Trimotor flown by Capt. Ray D. Wonsey of American Airways and co-pilot Fred Clark Smith. No other presidential candidate had flown to such an event or immediately addressed convention delegates. Max J. Pollet, who served as American’s first Steward on the flight, was District Sales Manager for American’s Colonial division in Albany, NY. As it was Pollet’s job to promote air travel, he was key to the operation and coordinated much of airline’s effort. Passenger traffic was gradually increasing on the network of local air carriers that had become Wonsey & Baird photo courtesy Marguerite The crew of the Colonial Airways Trimotors pose with their American Airways in January 1930.

  • I Write Regarding the Westin Long Beach Hotel, Which Is Located in My District, the California 47Th
    The Honorable Jacob Lew Secretary of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20220 Dear Mr. Secretary: I write regarding the Westin Long Beach hotel, which is located in my district, the California 47th. I understand that the hotel is for sale, and request that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) review the hotel’s potential sale to companies tied to China or other foreign states. This matter is time sensitive. CFIUS should take the opportunity to ensure national security questions are answered before the transaction has been finalized. The sale of the Westin Long Beach raises national security questions because the hotel is next door to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection – Los Angeles/Long Beach Sea Port office, which handles sensitive information related to interstate commerce, and because the hotel’s clients have included the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, some of which hosted foreign diplomats. I urge CFIUS to review this transaction and any other real estate or corporate transaction in my district that poses a national security risk, whether due to proximity to the Port of Long Beach, military bases or other federal infrastructure, harboring sensitive customer information, or hosting meetings with representatives of foreign governments. The following is a brief overview of national security questions raised by the potential acquisition of the Westin Long Beach hotel by an entity with ties to China or another foreign state actor.
